When it came to album releases this year, 2016 did not disappoint, from epic sophomore albums, exciting debuts and everything in-between.

But, as we prepare to start a new chapter, let Radio X guide you through 10 of the most exciting studio releases in 2017.

1. The xx - I See You (13 January)

Jamie xx, Romy Madley Croft and Oliver Sim have already revealed the artwork and tracklisting to their third album, which follows 2012’s Coexist and is set for release on 13 January.

The electronic trio have also released lead track, Hold On, which features a Hall & Oates sample. Watch its official video here:

2. Liam Gallagher - TBA

Liam Gallagher has announced he'd be bringing out a debut solo album in 2017. Despite not actually having a name or a release date yet, the Oasis man promises it won't be stadium rock and has teased John "Lennony" vibes and an acoustic sound.

3. Gorillaz - TBA

After months of teasing, a YouTube cleanse and digital booklets featuring their bandmates, it seems we could be finally ready to hear Gorillaz's fifth studio album. Earlier this year, co-creator Jamie Hewlett told fans the album was "really fucking special" and "can't be rushed". And we continue to wait for it patiently...

4. Jesus And Mary Chain - Damage And Joy (24 March 2017)

This year, the Just Like Honey outfit announced they'd be releasing their seventh studio album, marking 19 years since their last release, Mumki, which came out in 1998.

7. Wolf Alice - TBA

With a debut No.1 album and an Ivor Novello for songwriting under their belts, Ellie and co. will return with album number two and the follow-up to 2015's My Love Is Cool next year.

8. Arcade Fire - TBA

In June Will Butler suggested the follow-up to 2013's Reflektor would be released in Spring 2017, although he said the band had no definite schedule. However, they will no doubt want to try out some new material by the time they play their headline slot at Isle Of Wight festival.
